Yesterday’s punk, grunge, and rebel-outsider upstarts have an uncanny way of evolving into today’s elder statesmen of respectable infamy. But it’s doubtful that Tom Six will ever be in the mix of latter-day prestige. His desire to stand apart from it is too great. In case he’s not on your radar, Tom Six is the Dutch director of the “Human Centipede” trilogy, a series of horror films so grotesque that the idea of sitting through them would be a deal-breaker for 97 percent of moviegoers. Six was after the other three percent: the kind who feed off shock and transgression, and who recognize that a horror movie that makes hardened veterans of the genre feel like they have to watch parts of it peeking between their fingers is either a movie that has gone too far…or one that’s the definition of what true horror is.

Noah Wyle is hoping David Ellison isn’t serious about moving Paramount out of California. “I hope this is saber rattling because I can’t think of anything that would less engender you to the population of this industry than to say you’re going to take Hollywood out of Hollywood,” the “Pitt” star told me Sunday at the HBO Max Emmy Nominee Celebration in Los Angeles. “But I’m an Angeleno, so I have a vested interest in that one.” Variety confirmed on Aug. 11 that Ellison is prepared to start moving Paramount out of California as soon as October unless the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger is resolved through a settlement with the state’s attorney general, Rob Bonta. Twelve states have filed an antitrust case to block the merger. Paramount hasn’t yet decided where its new home might be; the company is considering destinations including Georgia, Texas and Tennessee.

Dwayne Johnson has been officially crowned a legend — a Disney Legend that is. On Sunday at D23, Johnson was honored with the hall-of-fame-style award from the Walt Disney Company. From “Jungle Cruise” to the “Moana” franchise and “Race to Witch Mountain,” Johnson is no stranger to the world of Disney. But as he took the stage to receive the honor, Johnson emphasized that his most important role is that of father. During his off-the-cuff speech, Johnson recalled the first time he took his eldest daughter Simone to Disneyland. She was five years old, and they had breakfast with the princesses. “I was in my 20s … I was trying to figure that stuff out at that time: how I was going to be a father, how I was going to be a husband, man, etc,” he recalled. “But I remember one of the princesses said, ‘Close your eyes and make a wish.

Bob Iger is officially a legend within the Disney kingdom. We can’t call it surprising that the media giant named its former CEO (twice over) to its hall of fame, but it’s certainly fitting. Iger, 75, has guided the company to delirious heights of success – and through some of its darkest ever hours. Disney insiders said Iger is the first executive to ever be named an official “Disney Legend,” joining a 2026 class that includes Anne Hathaway and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Iger was introduced by his CEO successor, Josh D’Amaro, who officially took over as the head of Disney in March. Robert Downey Jr., Harrison Ford, Ellen Pompeo, Diane Sawyer and others also took the stage to honor Iger and reminisce about his impact on the Mouse House. “What I’ve always admired the most about Bob is not necessarily what he’s accomplished; it is who he is,” D’Amaro said.

Shut up! Oscar winner Anne Hathaway is officially a Disney Legend. Hathaway was officially inducted into Disney’s hall of fame on Sunday afternoon during D23, the company’s weekend-long ultimate fan event. “I am here today because I’m one of the most insanely lucky people in the world,” Hathaway said after her “Devil Wears Prada” director David Frankel and Vogue editor Anna Wintour introduced her to the stage, where she received a massive round of applause. “How lucky am I that I was born into a family where acting, storytelling and imagination were valued and celebrated,” she said, pointing out her parents in the audience. Hathaway was also joined by her husband Adam Shulman (who she confirms “makes her foot pop”) and their two sons, Jonathan and Jack. Anne Hathaway calls herself “one of the most insanely lucky people in the world” while being honored as a Disney Legend at #D23 pic.

Michael Landon made his first real splash on the big screen in Gene Fowler Jr.'s 1957 drive-in classic "I Was a Teenage Werewolf," playing Tony Rivers, the teenage werewolf. The film was a hit and led to Landon getting more work in high-profile movies like "High School Confidential!," "God's Little Acre," and  "The Legend of Tom Dooley." Landon was the hotness of the moment. Then, in 1959, he landed a plum role playing Little Joe Cartwright on NBC's classic Western TV show "Bonanza" and stuck around for all 14 seasons of that (very successful) series. If Landon's career had ended there, he still would've been a legend. However, unwilling to rest on his laurels,

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Brad Bird's 1999 animated sci-fi film "The Iron Giant" didn't exactly take the world by storm — at least, not at first. "The Iron Giant" was released in August, a month traditionally considered a post-blockbuster-season dumping ground for studios. Warner Bros. seemed willing to let the film slide into obscurity, perhaps smarting from the not-very-glowing reception to their 1998 animated picture "Quest for Camelot." Bird later told JoBlo that the studio "didn't have any hopes" for the movie and put minimal effort into marketing: "We only had one poster and it was a teaser poster. We never had a real poster, because

When "Lord of the Rings" adaptations come up, there are a few names that quickly come to mind — especially if you're talking about directors. The obvious one is the man, the myth, the legend: Peter Jackson. The Kiwi has become synonymous with Middle-earth movies. However, there's another Middle-earth filmmaker who is often talked about alongside Peter Jackson, too. I'm talking about Ralph Bakshi. The animation mastermind and quirky genius is a character and a half, and he's had a lot to say about Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy over the years. You can sum up Bakshi's opinions (expressed in multiple places) thusly: He really doesn't like Jackson's work.
